Still connecting the dots: An investigation into infants' attentional bias to threat using an eye‐tracking task
An attentional bias toward threat has been theorized to be a normative aspect of infants' threat and safety learning, and an indicator of risk for internalizing psychopathology in older populations.

We extended the literature by examining patterns of attention to threat in a culturally and linguistically diverse sample of infants age…
